Lazy Sunday KeeBee Links
We are just lounging around today, enjoying the nice cool temperatures INSIDE, and not dying in the disgusting heat and humidity. We started working a little on our 1st of the month column for Common Conservative, and I decided I need a bit of a break. That break led me in the direction of the KeeBees again, and here is my sunday morning round-up of links from them:
Freedom's Zone picks up a Boston Herald column. In it, Jules Crittenden asks "Are we Ready" when it comes to fighting this war of ours? Here is an excerpt:
Strong, ruthless men and women go long hours without sleep for you. They do everything they can to keep you safe. They are your shield. They will kill for you, and die for you.You can take comfort from that knowledge and draw strength from their example. ... But that is not enough.
No, it never is. Which is why the price for our freedom always has been, and always will be, eternal vigilence.

After causing a stir yesterday with her proposed poll (which Professor Reynolds posted) Laura Lee Donoho at The Wide Awake Cafegoes back to the "Fauxtogate" scandal that rocked Reuters this past week. She points to the direct manipulation of scenes using children's toys. Several of these pictures popped up on Little Green Footballs, Michelle Malkin's site, and over at Hot Air. Not only does this scandal prove that the dinosaur media is willing and able to stage and manipulate photos, but it also shows the deep ideological bias that they had against a nation justified in defending itself from a terrorist group.

Over at Psychmeistr's Ice Palace there is a report coming out of China that the government there is banning the Simpsons, Pokemon, and Mickey Mouse, and it is all due to the fact that the Chinese animation studios cannot compete.
China has banished Homer Simpson, Pokemon and Mickey Mouse from prime time. Beginning Sept. 1, regulators have barred foreign cartoons from TV from 5 to 8 p.m. in an effort to protect China's struggling animation studios, news reports said Sunday. The move allows the Monkey King and his Chinese pals to get the top TV viewing hours to themselves.
Foreign cartoons, especially from Japan, are hugely popular with China's 250 million children and the country's own animation studios have struggled to compete. Communist leaders are said to be frustrated that so many cartoons are foreign-made, especially after efforts to build up Chinese animation studios.
Ah, so this is how Communism works: If you cannot beat them, ban them. This is just more evidence that shows Communism is a failure. Now if we could only get the radical Left in America to see that, but for that to happen, we need them to take their blinders off.

Around the globe, Carl in Jerusalem is blogging at Israel Matzav and he dug up a story about the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade playing judge, jury, and executioner on a man suspected of collaborating with the Israelis.
Television pictures showed the handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinian man, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, being forced to kneel in front of a mound of sand before being shot several times in the chest by at least two gunmen dressed in combat uniforms.
A crowd of several dozen people cheered and shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) as the man fell backwards and died.
Witnesses said the 25-year-old was killed by members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a militant group allied to Fatah, the party of ['moderate'] Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Give them a bit of land, and a bit of authority, and this is how they act. It is, in a word, barbaric.
